Personally I love WinMo, but it's an OS that I'd only wish on both my
dearest friends and my worst enemies.
It'sthe most versitile mobile OS out there, but it's finicky and requires a
bit of TLC.
On the one hand, there are thousands of apps for it that will allow a PDA
to be essentially a full PC in terms of functionality, but in return you
get a clunky device (touchscreen "brick-sized" WinMo phones are far more
functional than the slimmer "smartphones" like the Moto Q) poor battery
life and a bit of a learning curve.
But a WinMo device can replace a laptop in ways no other phone on the
market can. I rarely take a laptop on trips any more- my WinMo phone is my
media player, e-mail/Outlook/internet device, and I can remote into my
desktop when necessary for the rare odd task my phone can't handle.
